Why does Gaza fire missiles into Israel?

Answer 1

The premise of the question is debatable, considering that the Israeli military was sent in to forcefully remove all Israeli occupants from Gaza, and the territory was then handed over to the Palestinians.

If there is any lingering animosity, it may in some small way be connected somehow to the launching of unguided rockets from Gaza into centers of Israeli civilian population, but that's only a guess.

Answer 1

Because Israel wants land so they go to Palestine and kill innocent people even kids and kick them out until they are banished Now Palestine is not on the map because they kicked them out...they don't hate them they just want to "spread religion" which is dumb because I'm a Muslim myself and I hate seeing my own kind being killed and they dint have any weapons but rocks and their strong hearts to defend ):

Answer 2

The Israeli government, nor the Israeli people, hate Muslims especially since nearly one-fifth of Israelis are Muslim. While there are certainly inequalities between Jewish Israelis and Muslim Israelis, there is no hatred. At the worst there is discrimination. The manifestations for this discrimination often vary, but it is often times that more money may find its way to a Jewish school than an Arab school or that a highway runs closer to a predominantly Jewish city than a predominantly Arab city and so forth. It is analogous in many ways to the relationship between Whites and Blacks in Washington DC. It's not hatred, but it is discrimination.

As for Muslims outside of Israel, they are viewed more often with derision and enmity than outright hate, if only because the vast majority of Muslims continuously and assiduously declare their hatred of the State of Israel and their intent to see it obliterated off of the face of the planet. Understandably, this does not leave Israelis feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Answer 3

An excellent question; one which we residents of Israel would love to have the answers to. Why do terrorists commit acts of terrorism? Any reasons are mere excuses for cruelty, since other (legal) means are available to them. These people could lobby the U.N. for their demands; instead they kill civilians and bring damage upon their own populace.

Israel is trying to defend its populace against these terrorist rocket attacks, (as well as suicide bombers and the like). Israel targets military objectives, warning nearby civilians in advance through phone calls and leaflets, while Israel's terrorist enemies target civilian objectives almost exclusively. As one witness said: "Israel uses its weapons to protect its women and children, while Hamas uses women and children to protect its weapons" by putting them as a human shield near weapons caches and rocket launchers in Gaza. Thus Israel faces an impossible situation in which the terrorists are just waiting for Palestinians to be unintentionally killed so that they can seize the opportunity to internationally bash Israel in the U.N. and the media. They shed false tears, which could have been prevented by laying down their Iran-supplied weapons and sitting down to negotiate. When Israeli civilians are killed, these same terrorists hand out candies and sing in the streets.
